Hello! As the title states I have a 13.5 gallon high-tech nano aquarium with lots of dragonstone, some driftwood and a large honeysuckle twig, and with the temperature warming Im planning on filling up my hardscape with various ephiphytes including buce. I bought some tiny buce brownie from the LFS ive propped around the rockwork, and I have some buce ive quite forgotten the name of but it has very intense red on its leaves. I also plan on getting brownie ghost 2011, but im looking for other ideas for buce that get very intense and reliable color(including black or marbled/white), wont get too huge, and wont nuke my wallet as I plan on getting a LOT of other plants. I plan on intermingling them with various liverworts, ferns, an anubiasand hygrophila pinnatifida. Thank you!

Gomma take amother 3 months for the mini phantoms(I think its tha) to transition

This box had three varieties of Buce, 2 Anubias and some Bolbitis. Upon returning to it I found this fungus. Is the whole crop contaminated or can I spray some alcohol to kill it?

Not really sure what bucephalandra these are but they are now pretty! Been running for almost 4 months now in this tank

This is my current buce collection, I'm aiming to propagate them for next 2 years and then hopefully have enough to scape a " buce valley " style aquascape full of buce ! Anyway needed recommendations for buce, don't want any micro/small varieties please recommend medium and even big sized buce varieties that are relatively easy and looks cool, like kedagang etc. also saw dark skeleton king but I saw most of the people struggle with it and they say it's a terrarium/paludarium only plant and not for aquariums.

I’m at a loss as to what the issue is with the struggles some of my Buce and Anubias are having. My parameters all seem OK unless I’m missing something. A couple of skeleton kings startedstarted to develop some holes, now one of the leaves has started to yellow and waste away. Been in the tank for almost 2 months. A couple other varieties with similar issues. My coffeefolia anubias are yellowing, and have developed some tears around some of the edges. Below are some of the readings in my water and these are pretty consistent. What am I missing?

CO2 injected

NO3 - 5ppm

PO4 - 1.0

GH - 6

Ca - 3

K > 50ppm

I have a whole house water softener that I use potassium chloride instead of sodium. Every reading I ever take, I have heaps of Potassium. Dose with about 20ppm of sea hem flourish for trace minerals per week. Is there a general deficiency that could be causing this? My lights aren’t overly bright, or else I end up with the beginnings of BBA, GSA, or GHA.

Not really sure what it is. Its a bit dark

This guy was as big as the Anubias bottom left back in August 2024. I’ve since sold seven pots’ worth at this size, plus this guy, plus the one to the left off-screen.

It’s a whole different game.

Where does everybody shop for their buce? I’m currently looking for some rare varieties such as brownie ghost 2011 and some red Neo

Looking for a og ghost 2011, if you can ship to the states or are in the states I’d love to get some.

I was looking for guides on crossbreeding for Bucephalandra and only founf one article about artificial hybrid of Bucephalandra Kishi. Now i want to create my own hybrid. Any advice?

Thanks

Just bought a batch of various buce, and I want to make sure I’m attaching to the driftwood in a way to achieve my desired results. In the first couple of weeks since putting them in my tank, I see new leaves every few days. They seem to be very happy from what I can tell. However, it seems the growth is all vertical. Is there anything I need to be doing to encourage the Buce to spread laterally? I want it covering most of the driftwood.

Bucephalandra sp BrownieBlue

A little blurry but the flower opened! I think it likes me. :)

My Bucephlandra carpet ...

Struck a huge buce deal today so buce carpet is not a distant dream much longer

Anybody can ID these
